FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab 3 good for wide feet?

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Are the Merrell Moab 3 waterproof?

What is the best way to clean the Moab 3?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.
Can I replace the insoles in the Merrell Moab 3?
Yes, the insoles are removable. You can replace them with your own custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles for a personalized fit and support.
What kind of terrain are the Moab 3 best suited for?
The Moab 3 is an all-purpose hiking shoe, making it suitable for a wide variety of terrains including trails, rocky paths, dirt roads, and moderate inclines. The Vibram® outsole provides excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces.
Does the Moab 3 use recycled materials?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or rub in certain areas.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the tightness persists, try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. For initial wear, short periods of use can help break them in gently.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering grip. While the outsole offers good traction, extreme conditions may require slower speeds and careful footing.
Feet feel damp after hiking in wet conditions.
The Moab 3 is designed for breathability and comfort. For extended exposure to heavy rain or stream crossings, consider models with GORE-TEX waterproofing or use waterproof socks. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize water ingress.
Soles feel less cushioned over time.
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress slightly with extensive use. To prolong the life and comfort, ensure the shoes are not over-exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade materials. Consider adding after-market insoles if desired.

Care Instructions:
